Join Heyday authors Terria Smith and Ursula Pike for an event at Portland’s Literary Arts bookstore in celebration of Terria’s new memoir, I Love You So Many: A Native Memoir of Adventure, Culture.

I Love You So Many begins with a question: do other California Indians travel? After spending decades working in journalism and publishing to uplift and tell about the lives of Native people, Terria Smith turns her ear for story toward her own life. If travel writing is so often bound up with the complications and histories of settler colonialism, how do Indigenous folks interact with it? Following her journey from the Torres Martinzes Desert Cahuilla reservation to journalism school and beyond, I Love You So Many takes readers across North America on a journey of self-discovery, kinship, and adventure.
